The Deadly Twins

Getting Separated

In New York to be specific. Right under Gotham.

They lived on the street for 4 years. They stole from stores and stopped people from hurting one another.

One night they stopped a woman from being raped. The man had a gun and shot Jason in the leg and chest three times before Cass took the gun and punched the guy so hard he flew a few feet. When she checked on Jason he had lost a lot of blood and passed out.

She picked him up and took him to the nearest clinic. She brought him in and was immediately surrounded. She started to fake cry and blubber incoherently. They still hadn't learned to talk. The doctor said he was in medical coma due to his loss of blood. When she asked about money Cass understood and took ten twenties out.

" Good" she asked. The doctor looked a little sad. They weren't going to be able to pay.

"Yes that's good for now." Cass read her body language and knew she needed to get more money. A job maybe. She was 9 how was she gonna get a job. She found a job anyway.

One Jason wasn't gonna approve of. At all. He always said stealing was one thing selling your body was another. But she needed cash now. So she became a prostitute. She made 300 dollars a night. Not including the money she stole from the guys when they were done.

Jason was in a coma for a year and a half. Their birthday was coming up. They'd be 11. So Cass stole a birthday cake and Jason left the hospital. They celebrated a little. Jason went to every guy that prostituted Cass and cut off their "man parts" as Cass called them. It would be another 3 years before Jason was put in a coma again. ( yeah I know sorry it's all I could think of ) This time Cass heard that they had jobs in Gotham. So she left to go to Gotham.

What she didn't know was that the bridges were going up and she wouldn't be able to get back to Jason. She was scared and alone for the first time in her entire life. She figured the clock tower was deserted so she went there and broke in. She curled up in a corner on a blanket.

She woke to an angry voice saying "I know you're in there now come out." She silently got up and looked at the person. She was female in a wheelchair. Red hair, glasses, and a laptop on her lap. She didn't look like she could hurt her so she walked up to her.

"Hello who are you." The woman said.

"Cass. Who you." The woman looked at her curiously.

"Barbara. Do you need somewhere to stay Cass." Cass nodded silently.

"Ok well there's a couch in here you can sleep on." So she followed Barbara to the living room.
